Riding a bicycle on roads shared with motor vehicles can result in serious injuries to the cyclist if an accident occurs. A cyclist should always wear a helmet and reflective clothing to help minimize the risk of bicycle accidents.

    If you were involved in a BICYCLE ACCIDENT contact Sher Law group and take the following steps:
  • Contact help immediately if anyone was seriously injured and requires medical attention.
  • Obtain the contact information of the driver that caused the accident, inclusive of a picture of their driver's license and car insurance information.
  • Obtain contact information for any witnesses at the scene.
  • Call the police, ask the officer to provide you with an accident exchange form.
  • Do not admit contributing to the cause of the accident or apologize to anyone involved.
  • Do not speak with the at fault parties insurance company or accept any offer until first contacting a personal injury attorney.
Take photos of the following:
  • Take photos of different angles and distances of the damage to your bicycle and the vehicle that hit you.
  • Skid marks, or road conditions such as construction signs, etc.
  • Any bicycle gear that was damaged as a result of the impact.
If you were injured as a result of the negligent action of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Permanent Injuries

In Arizona, if you were injured in a bicycle accident you must make a claim for your injuries within two years of the date of the incident. In some instances the deadline to file a claim may differ. For example if a government vehicle caused the crash your claim must be filed within 180 days. It is important to hire an attorney that is familiar with the statute of limitations for your specific case to ensure your claim is filed on time. If legal action is not sought within this time you forfeit your right to sue the negligent driver.

Lake and Bicycle Accidents

Lake, Arizona, sits in Gila County in the state's central region, positioned between Globe and the San Carlos Apache Reservation with US Route 60 running nearby as a primary corridor through the area. This rural mountain community, with its modest population and winding roads, presents unique hazards for cyclists. The combination of narrow shoulders on regional highways, seasonal tourism that brings unfamiliar drivers through town, and the challenging terrain of the high desert create conditions where bicycle accidents occur with troubling frequency. Drivers passing through Lake often underestimate the presence of cyclists, particularly on roads like Highway 60, where visibility can be limited by curves and elevation changes. Local residents who commute by bicycle or enjoy recreational riding face real dangers from vehicles whose operators may not expect to share the road with non-motorized traffic in this quieter part of Arizona.

Your Legal Rights After a Bicycle Accident in Lake

Under Arizona law, bicycle accident victims have the right to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other injury-related costs. Arizona follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident, provided you are less than fifty percent at fault. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim under Arizona's statute of limitations. Lake residents who suffer bicycle injuries should understand that the at-fault driver's insurance company is typically required to cover legitimate damages. Sher Law Group handles bicycle accident cases throughout Arizona, including Gila County, and we serve Lake clients from our Scottsdale office, providing experienced representation regardless of where your accident occurred.
